Settle Down — The Dangerous Summer
Chords and lyrics for Settle Down by The Dangerous Summer (key of G).
Verse
[G]I gave my [C]things away
[Em]I called the [D]people that I [C]only see on [G]holidays
This [Em]next year's gonna [D]burn a hole in me
I spent my [G]weekdays in my [C]car
And the [Em]weekends drinking [D]hard enough for two
I [G]think I'll settle [C]down one of these [Em]days
'Til I [D]catch my breath
I feel the [G]weight of the world on [C]my back
But [Em]I'm not feeling [D]sick to death
Chorus
'Cause I [G]laid awake in bed[C] and thought of better times
I [Em]never want to sleep [D]'cause I found apathy
In [G]laying down and [C]never waking [Em]up
[D]Never waking up
Verse
[G]I learned a [C]lot today
[Em]'Cause there's a [D]reason why
[G]I'll never live the [C]easy way
[Em]I'm trying to be [D]real
[G]I wrote down words inside my [C]arm
That say "I'll [Em]never walk [D]alone," 'cause I get tired
[G]I know I'll have my [C]friends in every [Em]way[D]
So I [G]caught my breath[C]
And for the [Em]first time I [D]found what I'm looking for
Chorus
I [G]laid awake in bed[C] and thought of better times
I [Em]never want to sleep [D]'cause I found apathy
In [G]laying down and [C]never waking [Em]up
[D]Never waking up
I [G]laid awake in bed[C] and thought of better times
I [Em]never want to sleep [D]'cause I found apathy
In [G]laying down and [C]never waking [Em]up
[D]Never waking up
Bridge
Yeah, I went [G]down
Yeah, I found a [C]way
[Em]In the city where my father was born, I had a [D]dream I moved out west
I finally [G]found out what I wanted to be, so I [C]picked up where I left
And I [Em]waited two more years and [D]covered up my ears
[G]I think I'm ready to sing this time
[C](I think I'm ready to sing)
[Em]I think I'm ready to sing this time
I [D]really think I'm gone
Chorus
I [G]laid awake in bed[C] and thought of better times
I [Em]never want to sleep [D]'cause I found apathy
In [G]laying down and [C]never waking [Em]up
[D]Never waking up
I [G]laid awake in bed[C] and thought of better times
I [Em]never want to sleep [D]'cause I found apathy
In [G]laying down and [C]never waking [Em]up
[D]Never waking up
